VERY well done tutorial, Wolviex.
drzzzzz, if you still have problems, just e-mail the photos to me or one of the other members that you may know and I'm sure it can be popped in in a jiffy.
There was a time when I did it on a regular basis, to the point that I was worried about Rick and Ed taking out a contract on me! **grin**
They, of course, were always proper gentlemen, but still felt like a real pain in the posterior.

Can someone explain the clarity of some of the pics on this forum. They seem to have more resolution than would be allowed. Is there a rule of thumb as to the MP of the digital camera, for instance, would a 6MP be to large & need to be reduced?

MP is not the only important thing when you take digital photos. You need also good lenses to capture a good image. I usually take pictures for internet use in just 3MP.
When you take photos of edged weapons you need a camera with good macro capabilities for the close ups.
A tripod is essential so you can use low speed and depth of field.
Daylight is better than artificial.
Finally you have to be careful when you resize, change resolution or save a jpg file because every time you do that the quality drops down. For every step of editing a picture it is better to start from the original photo.

I find Photoshop's 'unsharp mask' feature to be very helpful in reducing large jpeg files while retaining good detail .
